  offramp: A brilliant player who will one day become World Champion.
May-17-16  zanzibar: No pressure on you kid...
May-17-16  zanzibar: I hope this isn't true (having read it only after posting the above):

chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #25108)

May-17-16  zanzibar: And here:

http://www.chessdom.com/16-players-...

Oh, my oh my.

May-18-16  LucB: <zanzibar> Yes, this is rather disconcerting. I wonder what happened exactly.

  offramp: It looks like I may have counted my chickens using a silicon-powered slide rule.

One day the links given above may be dead, so I shall quote one relevant sentence from the chessdom link given by Zanzibar.

<Two players have been disqualified for cheating - Ilya Makoveev (Russian Federation) who finished first with 9/11 points and Shubham Shukla (India) who took eighth place with 6.5 points. They will not be allowed to take part in the Final tournament.>

That was dated October 2015.

May-18-16  zanzibar: It seems to have been an incident in the past which didn't result in long-term penalties, as recent FIDE results show:

http://ratings.fide.com/individual_...

A bit curious that this April(?) event shows up as June 2016, especially given as it's currently May (right?):

http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_...

Oh well, it is FIDE after all.

I tried to find out more details about the incident (I admit to having trouble interpreting the google translation of <chancho>'s post).

But I did find this post in a google cached Reddit page:

<Online cheater allowed to play in FIDE tournaments? (self.chess) submitted 46 minutes ago by GoldNovaPawn1800 FIDE

The FIDE online Arena held their World Blitz Junior Championship last year in October, a young prodigy that is 9 years old with now a 2250 rating played in it, Ilya Makoveev finished 1st with 9/11, but was then later disqualified for cheating, should cheaters caught cheating online in OFFICIAL Fide (online) rated events be treated like normal standard OTB cheaters? in Ilya Makoveev's recent tournament he went +110 and is now 2250 at 9 years old, I'm not trying to witchhunt him or take that away from him, but wouldn't his opponents be suspicious of him?

Again, that was just one example, should players who cheat in Official FIDE Rated online events be treated like normal cheaters? >

So, if I read this right, the incident occurred in online-play, and not classic otb play.

May-18-16  sonia91: <zanzibar> Yes, the FIDE <Online> Juniors World Blitz Championship was an <online> tournament.

<A bit curious that this April(?) event shows up as June 2016, especially given as it's currently May (right?): http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_...

Oh well, it is FIDE after all. >

Norway Chess (2016) also ended at the end of April, so didn't make it to May list; Final 4 of College Chess - 2015 was held on March 28 and 29, but rated for July (!) 2015 list: https://ratings.fide.com/tournament...

  Domdaniel: If Makoveev was first acclaimed for his brilliance at the age of 10, and then disqualified for allegedly cheating, then chess itself has reached a new low.

But it must be noted that the supposed cheating took place in an online competition, where the normal OTB rules don't apply. It is much more difficult to sustain the regular chess rules online - and players whose moves inadvertently match leading engines *may* be falsely accused of cheating.

Given the context, the case against Makoveev is not proven -- it is hard to see why such a talented 10-year-old would cheat.

  Penguincw: Interesting fact (about his player page). If you copy the above link (Ilya Makoveev) into the search box on <cg>'s homepage, it pulls up to this page: Joseph Perl.
